What it Takes to Kill a Lane Hacker Light Fighter

[Othman]

dont you mistake sportmanship with roleplay then? - why should the navy use a fighterwing IF they have a capship in the area, that can do the job ( provided it has a good crew to pilot through the asteroids and a gunner that is able to actually shoot down those light fighters )
i don t think its a very plausible scenario if the Navy has a cap and a few ships out "right now" and there is a job to do ... should all those pilots switch to a light fighter, cause its fairer? - in terms of roleplay, it would be stupid - unless using a light fighter is actually better. ( i do agree that going into the badlands with a dreadnaught is .. brave ... cause two enemy bombers could blow up a battleship there - taking cover while the BB is nothing but a sitting duck )

but accusing the liberty forces for coming with waht they had at that time, and as it seems, they expected much more than 2-3 light fighters.... ( if thats true, they expected a whole LH fleet ) - its not up to the defender ( as they appeared to defend ) to choose the forces, its upon the attacker to use appropriate forces.

sometimes ( when gameplay weighs more than roleplay ) a player can decide to switch. like one of the last times - when the keepers came to delta - and we had the persephone out and an order BB was there to assist, it was the harbinger + 2 others ( gunships ) - but then another osiris showed up. - in that case i logged off, cause 3 BBs would have been stupid - but it was "ooRP" to abandon the defense in that case - and just in favour of balance.

Please read me more carefully next time. Will you? What does dispatch mean?

I would not have any word if capital ships were in the area the lane hackers progressed and these two enountered by chance. But from what I read, I make out that capital ships are being dispatched to Buffalo to get rid of some light fighters. Do you think it is normal for a Liberty capital ship to operate around Buffalo, and badlands? We see it clearly that independents were involved in this, sending anything they have against a small group of light fighters. Now this entirely kills roleplay and fun, from my point of view.
